Inside a messy HTPC…

The extremely messy inside…. Please note the 300GIG Maxtor HD laying carefully on a bed of cables in the lower left corner. I am not going to move the box, and this way the HD makes less noise compared to if it was fastened in one of the drive bays.

…and, it serves as a self-destruct mechanism if somebody should steal my HTPC… 🙂

The 160GIG Seagate Barracuda is in one of the 5 1/4-bays mounted in a NoVibes drive kit. It is completely silent!
